I’ve found out today that TV Shows where Plex has a music theme already, the local theme.mp3 is not honored.
Please note, I’m talking about the Web app which still plays theme music and not the new Experience apps.
I am curating the show ‘Peaky Blinders’ and as theme.mp3 I have the full ‘Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand (Peaky Blinders OST)’ song which is about 6 minutes long and I noticed that the theme version playing ended about 2.5 minutes.
So I tested placing another theme.mp3, this one the music from ‘Hill Street Blues’. Refreshed Metadata and the old theme was still playing, not the new one. I checked the library.db and the field user_music_url was not locked.
I’ve solved the problem for this show by uploading the theme music with a Python script
show.uploadTheme(filepath="C:\\Themes\\theme.mp3")
and now it works but I can’t do this with all my TV shows, which all have personally curated theme music.
Can somebody check? My guess is that it only affects older TV Shows where Plex already has a theme music in its db.
